You're wrong...the Mexican elite do want the poor out of their country. Period. If Mexico wants to develop a thriving, stable economy they have to build it from within.

You're wrong...the Mexican elite do want the poor out of their country. Period.

Because they want the fun of driving the garbage trucks themselves, period?

If Mexico wants to develop a thriving, stable economy they have to build it from within.

If they want a stable, thriving economy they need to set the people free, on the one hand, and inculcate a strong self-defense ethic and armed populace, on the other. They're just as unready for freedom as the US is, but it's worth a shot.

No, not really. Somewhere today I heard someone saying (maybe during Rush) that the elite want a poor class so they have cheap labor, and will do nothing to help the poor succeed in order to insure there is cheap labor.
